A step in the world of graphic novels baby

exileWhen I announced on Facebook that I could check officially cheerily "read a graphic novel" my bucket list, I heard several interested parties.

"Is this one that I sent you ten years ago?" asked my sister.This was one of the Sandman graphic novels (There are several, right?), and no, it wasn't what I read .j's admitted it was exile, who is a graphic novelization almost from the first third of the Outlander, a book I read Gabaldon repeatedly.

My friend Diana (not Gabaldon) thought I had taken an important first step, but couldn't really nothing on my list of bucket up to what I had read "the Shakespeare of graphic novels, Maus I and II". My cousin Shannon agreed with him (maybe because they are both professors of English?) and also recommended Persepholis, which my sixteen year daughter loved too.

Maybe I'll make 'em... sometime.I really enjoyed the exile, but I am not sure that I am still a .j conversion ' get that this is an art form, and that is something more than the novel-meeting-drawn. But I also have a big, fancy that I have no problem with reading books without images imagination. And my list of books I "should" read - and have not yet been able to-is quite long.

That said, I found my first experience of graphic novel intéressant.Gabaldon mentioned at the beginning of the book that she actually his beginning as a writer of fiction with graphic novels; she has written for Disney years and has been pre-compiled to like the idea of a graphic novel Outlander since the beginning. It certainly is another way to tell the story, sometimes a single page with multiple frames can display multiple pages of text equivalent. I felt that I helped me essentially by the fact that I already knew that pretty much history. It mostly follows the story, although it indicates events primarily perspective instead of Claire, and throws in some things with this guy, Kenneth (a fellow countryman Geillis Duncan) that I am pretty sure Jamie shape was not there before.

Although I had my predesigned image of all the characters, I loved the illustration; I thought it was beautiful. Marie and Claire were fairly close to how I've imagined, as was Laoghaire. But I have a confession: I couldn't really tell the rest of the separate Scottish. They were all wearing kilts, and everyone except Mary had brown hair of a similar shade.Above all, I thought that they were context.

It is worth your money? if you're a big fan of Outlander, probably.I can certainly see play me nouveau.Est times read other graphic novels? maybe.To read other graphic novels by Gabaldon?No doubt.

What is your experience with graphic novels? and do I really listen to Diana and Shannon and play Maus I and II?

-Do you like be spoiled?

spoiler

We will achieve this first thing: I like to be spoiled. In fact, I beg frequently people AAR for spoilers before that I am going to take a risk to reading a book by an author of new-to-me.  A large part of why I read criticism is spoiler on the books. Now I don't speak of the HEA - in a true romance that has a data. My desire for the plot or character devices points that don't work for me, or spoiler romance ever be given my state of mind.

But with my reading non-romance and same chick lit, and women's fiction, the HEA is not supposed to; I became a peeker end to this have a raison.Après love too much beloved mystery characters died, I had become a peeker end; do step discover "making," but to make certain all my favorite characters was still alive at the end."" 

But end-play only is not so easy when read electronic books or listen to audiobooks. Frankly, I don't have the patience to insert the final CD, fast-forward and listen to the last minutes on a regular basis.And do me started on how confusion is in format mp3 .j's tried, but it took hard work finally in exactly in the right place. And it is quite tedious page before the end of an e-book, read the last pages and trying to find my place of origin (because I do end-stealth just at the beginning, I end-stealth in a book I am presented with several characters).

Because of this difficulty, I tend to be rather conservative in my e-books and audiobooks non-romance selections. I am usually with authors hope; authors who kill main characters or provide surprise inappropriate. But each time in the time I get adventurous. 

On the recommendation of a friend, I recently listened Meg Cabot's Queen of Babble of travel to work. I found it a pleasant book - fairly well review here at the AAR. I'd been feeling very stressed out, and a book of light was exactly what I needed. In fact, I liked it enough that I picked up the audio version the Queen of Babble is coupled, assuming that this was the second in the series.

Fortunately, I was reading the examination for the Queen of Babble is coupled until I started listening (only to find out if Lizzie and Luke were married in France).Imagine my shock when I discovered that in this book - in fact the third, then step series - Lizzie and Luc broke, and it is potentially interested in Chaz, who was his best friend in the first book lover of the series.Rather than listen to the book, I've returned to the library the lendemain.CHAZ seemed to be a good character, but I wasn't ready for the angst of Lizzie and Luke breaking up.I liked Luke!

Since then, I thought the third book from time to time and wondered if I made a mistake.Leave spoiler get the better of me? should I be more adventurous in my audiobooks and e-books and just take a chance on surprises?

And thee? you like be spoiled? if so, what kind of information want to read a book? & read ahead? in the affirmative, once, twice, or too many times to count?

Select PW: Boon or bust for self-published authors

Weekly publishers is a trade journal read primarily by booksellers and librarians (although some authors subscribe for the news industry, and book geeks as I will now be and spring for a copy). They review discharges from large and small similar publishers, and their reviews are respected by industry professionals who use them to determine which books to the command.

Last week, their reputation has shot to a new program, select PW.PW he describes as "a quarterly supplement self-published titles announcing and revision of those that we think deserve more than a critical assessment".

The authors have to pay to be included – without promise of a revision. The list will include include author, title, price, description, etc. which is not much if you're a bookseller decide which books to the command. PW says "we briefly considered as for loading, but ultimately preferred to maintain our right to examine what revisions as we judged worthy." They also promise that at least 25 titles are getting reviews, but for now, there is no way of knowing how many books will be listed.Who will be 25 100? OU 25 500? 25 Of 1,000 or more?

Although PW does not offer a service of "pay for revision", select PW is also controversial. Instead of charging for a review, they charge authors $ 149 for an announcement - and a chance to be reviewed. (For this price, they also get a subscription from six months to the digital edition of Publishers Weekly, but if you just want a digital subscription, 180 dollars will buy access you all year round.) Some believe that it is better, because they are not "officially" loading for a review. Others think that this is even worse because PW gets money but does not yet provide a review. Most authors will pay fees anyway in the hope of getting a review?Of course, the authors will get exhibition announcement .but what exposure? How many booksellers will read this supplement? Even if they read the listings, find something that they want to order will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Select PW is not the first service to create such controversy. It is has several years respected trade journal critical Kirkus started offering a program called discovered Kirkus where authors "independently published" (for example, authors auto-publié or eBook authors) pay $ 350 for a review. Discovered Kirkus examinations are printed on a separate part of the website, where it is difficult to try to find a specific type of book. (67 Pages ad there, and they are not organized by category!) A positive review are not guaranteed by the authors.Still, since the beginning, many people have been devastated by conflict of interest .How do I do we know that the reviewer is to be impartial when the hiring company is granted by the author? Also, how these exams even help the author? Reviews for Kirkus analyses are published well in advance of the date of publication, so that libraries and libraries may order books in time, but Kirkus discoveries studied books that have already been published - what makes them less useful to booksellers, especially in the case of papers in a timely. Yet once, booksellers assume same read as exams.

Industry experts hoped that Publishers Weekly would be able to clean their nose and stay out of the camp "pay services".However, like so many other magazines, they are fighting. We've all seen our favourite magazines bend past years due to lack of ad revenues, reduced subscriptions, higher costs, etc. In fact, last year, almost folded critical Kirkus, saved only because it was purchased by the owner of the Indiana Pacers (Yes, N.B.A. team). I understand that many respected magazines, including powerful trade journals are having problems making ends meet. I simply wish that they could find other ways to make money on the self-published authors back.

I like the idea of giving deserving self-published books exhibition.But simply because that author spends $ 149 for his book listed PW select, this does not mean that they are among the dignes.Tout this means, is that payment of the author is disabled. You may have to auto-publié a gem of a novel, but if you do not have the money, your book will get listed. Then the small chance of obtaining a revision is destroyed, any good book. Many authors auto-publié will pay for the list because they think it will help readers or to obtain a contract with a Publisher. Will it help?Probably not.

A few years, Boyd Morrison offered his thriller The Ark and several other novels like free books électroniques.Cette experience received much attention and won him many fans.This month of may, the arch was published in hardback by Touchstone, a division of Simon & Schuster.What happens if PW select existed at the time?Morrison would have spent $ 149 in a list, but it was preferable to the creation of its Web site and blog, getting conferences online, participation in the exhibition, chat with readers on the forums and attracts advertising on its own.Then, Morrison does step echo experience your self-published author typique.Avant even buzz, he already had a literary agent met working on his side.(Among other things, his agent is Linda Lael Miller and Karen Chance.)

Still, if you have a large book auto-publié, it is better put your $ 149 to improve your Web site and marketing efforts or to obtain a better couverture.149 $ you will buy 5,000 bookmarks color with leftover changement.Pour $ 150, you can get a listing of small small press journals read by better réelles.Ou fans yet, why not get with some coworkers self-published authors, and buy advertising, on the line or in print magazines? this way, you can call the projectiles, and you can even target ads.

Speaking of Audiobooks: value archives and future possibilities

Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request
Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request

Although Speaking of Audiobooks is a relatively young column, our archives contain a tremendous amount of information relating to romance audiobooks.  Yes, the actual columns do comprise a fair amount of this content but the greater part is provided by your comments.  As you discuss the column’s topic, you also share recommendations and offer your thoughts on narrators, listening devices, future releases, and a myriad of other details related to romance audiobooks.  Each time I write a column, I find myself combing through these past discussions for reminders, insights, and direction.

So we’re starting today’s column with a look at our past discussions.  Each Speaking of Audiobooks (SOA) column is summarized with a nod to significant discussions as well as titles of Mini Reviews within.  Mini Reviews are just that – shorter reviews (when compared to AAR’s reviews) with the emphasis on the audio aspects.

Speaking of Audiobooks – What’s Next?

Today, SOA is a place to talk about all aspects of romance audio.  We’re getting to know each other’s preferences, conversations flow easily, and discussions often continue from one column to the next.  We see Speaking of Audiobooks as the “go to” place for romance audio.

Now we’re looking to our future columns and asking for your input on possible content.  To start things off, here are a few ideas under consideration:

A Listening Challenge for 2011.  Would you be interested in participating in a (very low key) 2011 challenge?  I’ll need help in creating the challenge and will ask for your recommendations.Narrator interviews – it’s likely that we will begin conducting narrator interviews in 2011.  What narrator do you most want to see interviewed?Audio industry news – rather than complete columns on this subject, I’m hoping for “Industry Updates”.  Once again, this is best accomplished with help from our listeners.  More to come.Mini Reviews from listeners.  A formal part of the column, you may choose to contribute an occasional romance Mini Review.

Please give us your ideas!

Time for Your Thoughts

What features or subject matter do you want to see in future at SOA?

What is your favorite aspect of this column?

Is there a regular column feature you want to see more of?

What has been your favorite column to date?

Would you be willing to participate in a 2011 Listening Challenge?

What narrator do you most want to see interviewed?

Will you write an occasional Mini Review for SOA?  Email me if you are interested.

And as always, do you have any recent audiobook success of failure to share with us?

Ending Notes

I’m announcing romance audiobook news and new releases on Twitter.  To follow me on Twitter, look for @LeaAAR.

If you have a romance audiobook question, please feel free to contact me at afriendatheart at cox dot net.  If I don’t know the answer, we’ll do our best to find it.

Eagerly Awaited October Books

As fall approaches, the weather will (hopefully) refresh and I can enjoy clear air and changing of sheets and curl up with a good book. As we have been seen throughout the year, there are many out books that capture our interest and the Earth "to buy" list. Some experiments with parcels or settings that sound interesting, while others are authors have been proven and real are autobuys for various personal AAR. I hope that everyone will be able to find a few good reads this fall. Here is what is out October 2010 - those are you eagerly?
